Marion Sims, a 19th century surgeon who conducted experimental operations on female slaves, from its place of honor in Central Park; Sims was considered a pioneer in the field of gynecology. But there has been a reassessment of his career because of his exploitation of female slaves, who he operated on without anesthesia.) |
